  I just got a gooseneck without temp control. I already had a cheap temp control kettle but it was making a banging noise so I thought i would try the gooseneck. The gooseneck temp controlled were expensive so i thought i will try without temp control. Then i wanted to make green tea 😮 what to do?? Your video saved the day! 💚 😅

  Thanks for the video. I do something similar where I pour about 1.5 cups in to the same sort of Pyrex and then wait 4 minutes. No clue if the temperature is right but that's what I've found works.

  How much ml of water dis you por in the pot? Or since the pots may vary, how much cm in height of water do you recommend to pour?

• 
  @TheTeaLetter Жыл бұрын

  I pour enough for one pot of tea. My tea pot is usually around 100-120mL. As for pouring height, I haven’t experimented enough with that to know how much height will cool the water. But obviously pouring the water closer will keep it hotter and further will cool it, however much. Hope that helps!

  Modern pyrex is junk knock-off soda-lime glass (not borosilicate anymore) and has a terrible pouring spout. If pyrex is spelled with lowercase letters, it's re-branded interior junk. If PYREX is spelled with capital letters, it's legit borosilicate glass that can better withstand temperature shock.

  Very interesting way to use your hisaku, I bought a bronze lid kyoto tetsubin for bon temae and I use a 100 ml teacup as a water cooler, and measuring cup. It is more elegant to pre sift the matcha in a natsume and use a chasaku to measure out two big scoops of matcha. By the way can you feel the taste difference when using the hisaku, does it add bamboo fragrance to the water?

• 
  @TheTeaLetter Жыл бұрын

  Sorry I haven’t seen your comment for almost a year! 😅 It is definitely more elegant to use a natsume. I find it to be a lot of work to sift and move all the tea into the natsume so I only do it when I’m actually practicing temae. As for the hishaku, yea it does impart a bamboo fragrance! I find it to be quite subtle and sweet. I have a theory that using bamboo tools is actually an important part of matcha’s full flavor experience. 😁

  I used to use a temperature control kettle, but it broke. These days I go by the sound of the bubbling. Re how quick it dropped here - could it not have dropped quite a bit before you started filming and before you poured it in the video? Seemed to be quite a bit of time passed. I doubt it poured at 100°c

• 
  @TheTeaLetter3 жыл бұрын

  Going by the sound of bubbling is the way they did it in the old days, for sure! The Bonavita Gooseneck I was using in this video does tend to quiet significantly as the water reaches a boil. It is temperature controlled though and it does reach a full rolling boil at 100C.

  I'm a ripe pu-er fiend. The raw stuff is hard on me energetically. Just doesn't seem to vibe with my system unless it's super aged, which I can't afford, haha.

Also some of the green Taiwanese oolongs come out smelling almost exactly like grass clippings!
